Owning both, IMO the my 5150 has a lower mid grind the SLO just won't quite do.
Both can sound excellent, the 5150 just takes it further.
How does one answer this? Both can product very thick and heavy distortion and with excellent clarity and bite. The 5150 just has this lower mid Grind...
I bought some of those Carvin GS1275 speakers when Carvin had that $20 blow out. It's a really scooped speaker and IMO sounds pretty mean and aggressive with my 5150. I don't think I'd want it as my main speaker though.
Here's a short 5150 clip driving the GS1275...
I have all three, well a M90, and love all three equally.
5150- Growl
M90- - Very Dense Distortion, great Cleans and awesome switching setup
SLO - Tight and cutting
this is notion that the sensitivity plays the dominate role is just wrong. that spec is just a test tube measurement. a Greenback even with a lower overall output, based on its frequency response, may actually have more output at certain frequencies than other "louder" speaker.
I've mixed...
Can you not tell a quality gtr and even if it is not set up to your liking? PUPs can be changed... String setup can be changed...
My suggestion is learn a gtr for what it offers. experience teaches you this.
There have been a lot of posts regarding modding this amp. This just seems a bit funny.
I won't debate the merits of amp modding. If you want a an SLO save up and buy an SLO.
